Korea Pro profiles Kim Chong-in, who oversees candidate nomination at the New Reform Party
With a political career spanning over four decades, Kim Chong-in has been a pivotal figure in South Korean politics — from the authoritarian era to the present day. His recent alliance with Lee Jun-seok, a former leader of the ruling People Power Party, has once again thrust him into the spotlight.
At 83, Kim Chong-in joined Lee Jun-seok’s newly formed minor party, the New Reform Party (NRP), as the chairman of the general election candidacy nomination committee. This role places him at the helm of the party’s electoral decision-making process.
